In life, for everyone there are
Two things that one cannot pick:
One's family, since it's already there beforehand,
And one's football club - sad, but true
I find all of my relatives pretty cool
My problem is my love for the FC!
Because I've had this dream for years
But it only seems to be red and white foam:
Once in my life, I want to be German Champion...
Right from the start, that would be
Too good to be true...
Once in my life, I want to be German Champion
But we're only a carnival club
Then a telegram would arrive: "Congratulations to the West!
This year you've just been the very best
It's a beautiful thing that you made it!
I love you! Signed: Uli Hoeneß"
Once in my life, I want to be German Champion...
...
Cologne is the strongest favourite in the Champions League -
Only outsider chances for Real Madrid
Gladbach is sliding down the ranks again and plays fourth league now
The Bavarians play against Riga in the UEFA-Cup
Once in my life, I want to be German Champion...
...
The national coach celebrates: "I love the kölsch Bock!
The national team rises and falls with the Cologne fanbase."
Calmund starts a hunger strike - that's not healthy:
He now only weighs two hundred and sixty pounds...
Once in my life, I want to be German Champion...
